GS716T/GS724T Hardware Installation Guide Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch The following procedure describes how to connect PCs to the switch's RJ-45 ports. The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains Auto Uplink™ technology, which allows the attaching of devices using either straight-through or crossover cables. Figure 4-2 Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel (Figure 4-2 ). Use Category 5 (Cat5) Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to make these connections. Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached device to 100 m (328 ft.). Step 5: Installing an SFP GBIC Module The following procedure describes how to install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the switch's Gigabit module bay. Standard SFP GBIC modules are sold separately from the Smart Switch. If an SFP GBIC module is not being installed at this time, skip this procedure. To install an SFP GBIC module: 4-16 v1.0, June 2009 Installation

Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch
The following procedure describes how to connect PCs to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. The
NETGEAR Smart Switch contains Auto Uplink™ technology, which allows the attaching of
devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.
Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel (
Figure 4-2
). Use Category 5
(Cat5) Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to make these
connections.
Step 5: Installing an SFP GBIC Module
The following procedure describes how to install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the switch’s
Gigabit module bay. Standard SFP GBIC modules are sold separately from the Smart Switch. If an
SFP GBIC module is not being installed at this time, skip this procedure.
To install an SFP GBIC module:
